Their training camp:

They have been in Schladming for the past three days of a six day training camp which will see them train twice a day.

The heat has been placing great demands on the players. Due to the high temperatures in Austria, they have moved the start of training forward in the morning to 9.45am instead of 10am and moved it back in the afternoon from 6pm to 7pm instead of 4pm.

Coach Peter Zeidler explained: “Schladming has the advantage of being a little higher so not as hot as other regions. We can use the long break during the day really well for video analysis and individual discussions with the players. We are focusing on playing better with one another all the time, and we want to show that on Wednesday.”

At least the River Enns which flows past the training ground offers a chance to cool aching muscles.

New and old faces:

Red Bull will have some new faces on show but are also missing some players through injury.

In their squad are new signings Paolo Miranda, Stefan Lainer and Omer Damari.

Smail Prevljak, a 20 year-old Bosnian, is fit following a long ankle ankle injury. Ray Yabo is now fit after a brief knee injury.

David Atanga, Asger Sörensen and young Brazilian goalkeeper Airton Morais Michellon are all nursing injuries.
